Regenerative agriculture: Combining economic efficiency and soil health

01 THE PROBLEM

01 THE PROBLEM

Soil quality threatens yields
In the last 60 years, Germany has lost around 30 % of its fertile soil. The loss of humus reduces crop yields, weakens the resistance of plants and increases the need for inputs.

02 The solution

Humus as the key to greater profitability
Humus build-up strengthens soil fertility, reduces dependence on inputs and creates more stable yields - a clear advantage for the profitability of farms. Healthy soils can store nutrients and water better in the long term, which makes the farm more resilient and independent.

03 EU contribution

Regenerative practices for greater efficiency
Targeted measures in regenerative agriculture can improve soil quality, which can reduce operating costs and sustainably increase yields. CO₂ certificates also offer an additional source of income, as the build-up of humus increases the carbon content in the soil.

What measures promote humus formation?

The five principles of regenerative agriculture

Diverse crop rotations

Keeping the soil covered

Reduction of soil disturbance

Maintain living roots all year round

Integrate livestock

Advantages of regenerative practices:

Increasing soil fertility by building up humus
Higher water storage capacity and soil stability
Increased resistance of soils and plants
Reduced operating costs due to reduced dependence on fertilizers and pesticides
Promoting biodiversity in and on the soil
Strengthening the positive image of agriculture in society

From humus formation to carbon credit

1. carbon sequestration
Targeted regenerative practices reduce CO₂ and bind it permanently in the soil.

2. conversion
Carbon sequestration and reduction forms the basis for carbon credits. Klim generates one carbon credit for every ton of CO2 reduced or sequestered.

3. sale
CO₂ certificates offer attractive financial support to finance the implementation of regenerative methods.

What are carbon credits?

Companies can use these two types to promote regenerative agriculture, within or outside their own supply chain.
Binding
Formation through humus build-up
The build-up of humus contributes significantly to the active sequestration of carbon. This can be achieved, for example, through the increased cultivation of humus-producing crops or the application of organic fertilizers.
Reduction
Creation through emission reduction
The reduction in CO2 emisisons is mainly achieved by reducing operating resources and switching to reduced tillage.
Definition of
Carbon credits act as proof of a certain amount of CO2 (one ton) that has been reduced or removed through specific measures. These certificates can then be traded on carbon markets where companies and individuals buy them to contribute to climate protection or offset their own emissions.

How it works

Participation with your company

1. register
Specify initial data for the last three years for the calculation basis.
2. relocate
Implement measures to build up humus and reduce emissions.
3. reports
Upload documents and receipts for verification.
4. verify
Verification of the data received from Klim and TÜV-Rheinland.
5. Benefit
Klim sells certificates to companies, you receive the credit to your account.
Register now
The certificates are currently sold by Klim to selected companies. From 2025, farmers will be able to sell the carbon credits they generate themselves.
